Halloween '08

Today we had a fun halloween night. Kids were scared left and right with Hagatha hissing and spitting. Dan's friends were here lending a hand. Cindy made veggie lasagna and meat lasagna for eats. Need something other than candy for sustenance.

Fence project completed

Yesterday I completed the fence in our backyard by painting it. (actually a stain) I used my airless paint sprayer which really speeded up the job. It still requires a brush to blend it all in. Cindy says I looked like an alien!

Jeannie's baby shower

Last Saturday, Oct. 18 Jeannie, Bob's wife had a baby shower. Cathy who was visiting here and sleeping in our motorhome went with Cindy to the baby shower. Jeannie is due November 14 for a caesarian delivery. It is a girl.

Cathy Visits Chula Vista

Cathy flew down for a few days to attend a baby shower for Bob Boyce's wife, Jeannie. Yesterday we took Cathy to see a few of her friends: Kathy who was her bridesmaid and Margaret who actually made her wedding gown. Then we took her to Dan's house so he could give her the "tour";
Then we finished the day off with dinner and a tour of the grand Otay Ranch Town Center mall.

New Windows

We got our new windows installed today. We did just the front of the house for now (five windows).
They are energy efficient double pane and really keep the afternoon sun from beating in. You can see the before and after. We will do the rest of the house later. New windows are expensive. The quote for the whole house is good for a couple of years. Our house is getting "greener" all the time!

Heart Taco

For dinner last night Cindy was making tacos and one tortilla came out with a heart on it. Well, these are "heart healthy" tacos. Maybe this could be sold on Ebay?

Server racks

This weekend Dan started moving his server rack from our house to his. He has swapped his tall rack with a shorter rack that hold just the components we need for internet, security cameras and TV. Cindy and I transported the tall rack to his house in our truck. First Dan treated us to lunch at Chili's. Cindy and Dan had fajitas and I had the delicious black bean burger.

Dan is setting the server rack up in his server room which he painted purple (called "bite me"). We saw Jake the cat there and petted him. His fur is so soft! He is now an all house cat only.
